BengaluruPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I saw a LinkedIn posting that expired quickly, but I still ended up going through a chain of steps.

There was a direct test hiring phase where I solved three LeetCode questions—easy and medium—within a 90-minute window.

After the test, I had a technical interview focused mainly on LeetCode easy and medium questions, which lasted about fifty minutes. I then reached a managerial round centered on projects, and that’s where the process ended for me.

I got rejected after the managerial conversation. What surprised me most was how quickly it moved from the short take-home-style test into another technical round, and how evaluation seemed to tighten around fit for the projects I’d worked on
